This work compiles experiences and lessons learned in meeting the
unique needs of women and children regarding crime prevention and
criminal justice, in particular the treatment and social
reintegration of offenders and serves as a cross-disciplinary work
for academic and policy-making analyses and follow-up in developing
and developed countries. Furthermore, it argues for a more humane
and effective approach to countering delinquency and crime among
future generations. In a world where development positively depends
on the rule of law and the related investment security, two global
trends may chart the course of development: urbanization and
education. Urbanization will globalize the concepts of "justice"
and "fairness"; education will be dominated by the urban mindset
and digital service economy, just as a culture of lawfulness will.
This work looks at crime prevention education as an investment in
the sustainable quality of life of succeeding generations, and at
those who pursue such crime prevention as the providers of
much-needed skills in the educational portfolio. Adopting a
reformist approach, this work collects articles with findings and
recommendations that may be relevant to domestic and international
policymaking, including the United Nations Studies and their
educational value for the welfare of coming generations. The books
address the relevant United Nations ideas by combining them with
academic approaches. Guided by the Editors' respective fields of
expertise, and in full recognition of academic freedom and
"organized scepticism", it includes contributions by lawyers,
criminologists, sociologists and other eminent experts seeking to
bridge the gap between academic and policy perspectives, as
appropriate, against the international background, including the
United Nations developments. The second volume opens with Part IV,
which presents articles on different kinds of crime prevention. The
effectiveness of punishment and, in particular, imprisonment is
examined by contrasting it with alternative sanctions and the
following questions are raised: Does harsh punishment have a crime
preventive effect? What are the side effects of imprisonment on the
offenders and their families? Are alternatives, such as restorative
justice or mediation, more effective and cheaper? Part V outlines
proactive strategies of crime prevention, e.g. for potential sex
offenders or in the domain of internet crime. Part VI envisions a
more peaceful and inclusive society, which would be realized by
improving the protection of women and children in their everyday
life, and easing the reintegration of those who have become
offenders. The importance of the role played by the UN in
formulating these goals is underlined. The volume concludes with an
epilogue of the 70th President of the United Nations Economic and
Social Council, Martin Sajdik, and a post scriptum of the editors.
